Wait, what type of problem he has? I mean, I understand that he is dealing with the pain, but I can't just tell you what your dad should do or how he should behave. I can't even tell what type of the macular degeneration treatment he needs to have, because, according to those symptoms that you were prescribed, don't get me wrong, but it is just pain and usually pain happens after the procedure. So, we need more details and more symptoms as well. I really hope that your dad is OK and that he found a proper thing for him.

Hello.
What type of problem? There are several complications or problems, call it how you want, but it is pretty much the same. My friend had a problem with a cataract formation, which is known as an uncommon acute complication following this type of injection; however. The main problem is that cataract is a longer-term complication, so I assume that it is a little bit harder to take care of, right? Do you know what type of issue your dad has? And of course, you need to know that visiting a doctor is not an option, it is something that he has to do and let him doctor knows all about those that bothers him.

Those problems are common.
But you need to "follow" their progress. But sure, some problems can happen because a retinal detachment fails, and this treatment is not that simple as many of you believe that it is. But generally, I was reading that, when this type of problem happens, if you are not able to see your doctor immediately, the one who performed the procedure, you should lie down on your bed. Your head should be positioned so the eye with the visual defect is closest to the pillow. This will prevent some future problems until you reach the doctor.

Well, I think that one of the biggest problems is this possibility od the increased pressure in the eye. It is generally very annoying and also it can be very, very uncomfortable. When it comes to this, you should know that it happens in around 10% of the cases of the time. Now, this pressure can be high or low, but you should know that, if the pressure increase is high, you may experience blurring and aching around the eye. Also, sickness and headaches are possible. So, maybe you believe that those are side - effects that are caused by totally different things, but now, they are caused by the same thing. The raised pressure is usually temporary and it depends on how high the eye pressure is. This can be controlled with the pills. I think that this is te most common side - effect.

Yes, but you forget to mention an infection, that is also possible. You should also be focused on this as well. This is called endophthalmitis, and it is one of the most dreaded complications when it comes to this procedure. Well, if not treated, an infection can be extremely serious, and you can lose your vision permanently. It is usually manifested by a huge pain, so I don't see why you would not notice it. I am glad that you asked about this because I am sure that some of the advice will be able to help all the future patients.
